Steps:

• In a microwave, melt butter and chocolate; stir until smooth. Set aside to cool. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla and cooled chocolate mixture. Combine the flour, sugar and salt; add to egg mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. (Batter will appear curdled.), For buttercream, in a microwave, melt white chocolate with cream; stir until smooth. Set aside to cool. In a small bowl, combine sugar and cream of tartar., Place egg whites in a double boiler or metal bowl over simmering water; stir in the sugar mixture. Constantly whisk until mixture reaches 120-130° (do not overheat). Stirring gently, keep at 120-130° for 2 minutes. Immediately transfer to a mixing bowl., With a whisk attachment, beat on high speed for 5 minutes. Reduce speed and beat for 5 additional minutes or until cool and stiff. Transfer to a large bowl., In the same mixing bowl with the whisk attachment, beat butter and vanilla until light and fluffy. Beat in cooled white chocolate mixture. With a spatula, stir a fourth of the meringue into butter mixture until no white streaks remain. Fold in remaining meringue. Cover and refrigerate., Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet over medium heat; pour 2 tablespoons crepe batter into center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to coat bottom evenly. Cook until top appears dry, about 2 minutes; turn and cook 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing skillet as needed., When cool, stack crepes with waxed paper or paper towels in between., To assemble, place one crepe on a cake plate. Spread with 3 tablespoons buttercream. Repeat layers until 10 crepes are used. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Repeat layering and chilling until 30 crepes are used, ending layers with a crepe. (Save remaining crepes for another use.) Refrigerate., For ganache, place chocolate in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, bring the cream, corn syrup and salt just to a boil. Pour over chocolate; whisk until smooth. Cool, stirring occasionally, until ganache reaches a spreading consistency. Spread over top and sides of cake. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.

• Endless ideas.

Steps:

• Combine all crepe ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
• Allow batter to rest in the refrigerator at least half an hour.
• In a small bowl, dissolve espresso powder in water. (If you don't dissolve the espresso powder, the glaze will be grainy).
• In a medium saucepan, melt chocolate over medium-low heat.
• Add remaining ingredients and whisk thoroughly until smooth.
• Heat until just boiling, then remove from heat and scrape glaze into a bowl. Refrigerate until batter has finished resting.
• Bring an 8" non-stick pan to medium heat (allow about 3 minutes for heat-up time).
• Spray pan with cooking spray. Pour in a few tablespoons of batter and quickly tilt the pan so that the batter covers the bottom of the pan in a very thin layer.
• Cook crepe until edges barely start to peel away from pan.
• Gently slide a long metal offset spatula under the crepe and flip it over.
• Cook crepe just another minute and slide onto a plate.
• Spread crepe with a thin layer of glaze.
• Cook another crepe, stack on top of the first, and spread with a bit of butter.
• Cook another crepe, add to the stack, and sprinkle with powdered sugar using a sifter or strainer.
• Repeat this sequence until batter runs out, leaving top crepe bare.
• Spread remaining glaze over top crepe and allow it to drip down the sides.
• Slice with a sharp knife and serve. The cake will keep in the refrigerator for at least a day.

Steps:

• Place eggs in a blender and pulse a few times to break them up. Add milk, oil, flour and salt and blend until smooth. Heat a small (8- or 9-inch) nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Place a small amount of oil on a paper towel and rub it over the surface of the pan. Pour in 1/4 cup of the crepe batter and quickly swirl the pan around until it covers the entire bottom of the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, or until the crepe is set in the center. Loosen the edges with a spatula and turn the crepe over. Cook for 1 minute, or until very lightly browned, and remove from the pan. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, oiling the pan before cooking each crepe.
• To make the sauce: Place the chocolate chips, cream and sugar in a small saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until the chocolate is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and serve warm.To serve: Fold the crepes in quarters and arrange three in the center of each plate. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and spoon the chocolate sauce on top.

Steps:

• Fold your crepes in half twice, so they are in the shape of a triangle. In a non-stick pan over medium heat, melt half of the butter. When it begins to foam remove from heat and add 2 ounces of the liquor and 2 tablespoons of the sugar. Always add alcohol off of the heat to avoid a jumping flame. Use tongs to gently lay crepes into the pan. Turn the crepes to coat. Lay the crepes out on a plate and top with ice cream. Pour remaining sauce over the ice cream. Serve immediately.
• In a blender, combine all of the ingredients and pulse for 10 seconds. Place the crepe batter in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This allows the bubbles to subside so the crepes will be less likely to tear during cooking. The batter will keep for up to 48 hours.
• Heat a small non-stick pan. Add butter to coat. Pour 1 ounce of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly. Cook for 30 seconds and flip. Cook for another 10 seconds and remove to the cutting board. Lay them out flat so they can cool. Continue until all batter is gone. After they have cooled you can stack them and store in sealable plastic bags in the refrigerator for several days or in the freezer for up to two months. When using frozen crepes, thaw on a rack before gently peeling apart.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt, and set aside. In a small saucepan, warm the milk over low heat. Add the warmed milk and butter to the flour mixture, followed by the eggs and the rum. Use an immersion blender to mix the batter until thoroughly combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or in the refrigerator overnight.
• To make the crepes, spray an 8-inch saute pan with grapeseed oil spray, wipe it clean, and turn the heat to high. (You'll know the pan is ready when it just begins to smoke.) Using a 2-ounce ladle, ladle out crepe batter into the hot pan and tilt the pan to spread the batter into an even circle. After 45 seconds, when the top is dry, flip the crepe over and cook on the other side for 20 seconds, until it just starts to brown at the edges. Fold the crepe in half and transfer it to a sheet pan lined with foil. Repeat this process with the remaining crepe batter.
• Place one crepe on a plate and top with Hot Chocolate Sauce. Fold the sides over and repeat with another crepe on the same plate (you will have two crepes for each serving.) Repeat with the remaining crepes and serve.
• Place the chocolate in a large bowl and set aside. Combine the water, sugar, cocoa powder, and cream in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate, setting the saucepan aside, and whisk until smooth. Pour the chocolate sauce into a sieve set over the reserved saucepan and keep warm until ready to use.

Steps:

• For the crepes: Put the milk, chocolate and butter in a saucepan and heat to melt. Beat the eggs with the sugar in a bowl. Add the vanilla, then the flour. Beat in the chocolate mixture. Strain into a jug and let sit for 30 minutes. Add more milk or water if necessary to give the consistency of thin cream. Fry the crepes in a nonstick pan. If you do not have a nonstick pan use a bit of oil.
• For the chocolate sauce: Put the chocolate and cream together in a saucepan and heat, gently, until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is very smooth. Thin, as needed with more cream. Serve hot.
• To serve: Fill the crepes with sliced banana or strawberries and sweetened cinnamon-flecked whipped cream. They look best folded over into a triangle. Drizzle chocolate sauce over top.

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a blender and pulse a few times to break them up. Add the milk, oil, flour, and salt and blend until smooth.
• Heat a small (8- or 9-inch) nonstick sauté pan over medium-high heat. Place a small amount of oil on a paper towel and rub it over the surface of the pan. Pour in 1/4 cup of the crêpe batter and quickly swirl the pan around until it covers the entire bottom of the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, or until the crêpe is set in the center. Loosen the edges with a spatula and turn the crêpe over. Cook for 1 minute, or until very lightly browned, and remove from the pan. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, oiling the pan before cooking each crêpe.
• Place the chocolate chips, cream, and sugar in a small saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes, or until the chocolate is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and serve warm.
• Fold the crêpes in quarters and arrange three in the center of each plate. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and spoon the chocolate sauce on top.
• Food for Thought
• Okay, admittedly there is nothing low-cal about this recipe, but all is not lost. Crêpes are only about 95 calories each. So if you skip the chocolate sauce and go for fresh strawberries, you could save a lot of calories and still have a luscious dessert.

Steps:

• For batter, place the first 9 ingredients in a blender or food processor. Cover and process until smooth. Refrigerate for 1 hour., Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in sour cream and vanilla. Fold in creme de cacao and whipped topping. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour., For the fudge sauce, in a large saucepan, melt chocolate chips and butter over low heat. Stir in sugar and cream. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Set aside and keep warm., Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet; pour 2 tablespoons batter into center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to evenly coat bottom. Cook until top appears dry; turn and cook 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing skillet as needed. When cool, stack crepes with waxed paper or paper towels in between. , Spoon 1/4 cup filling down the center of each crepe; roll up. Top with fudge sauce. Sprinkle with mint candies if desired.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs and butter. Combine the flour, sugar and cocoa; add to buttermilk mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour., Heat a lightly greased 8-in. nonstick skillet over medium heat; pour 2 tablespoons batter into the center of skillet. Lift and tilt pan to coat bottom evenly. Cook until top appears dry; turn and cook 15-20 seconds longer. Remove to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing skillet as needed. When cool, stack crepes with waxed paper or paper towels in between., In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the pie filling, peaches and cinnamon. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 3-4 minutes or until heated through, stirring once. Stir in extract. Spoon 2 tablespoons filling down the center of each crepe. Fold sides of crepe over filling. Drizzle with ice cream topping and, if desired, garnish with whipped cream.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.
• Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Toast pecans in a shallow baking pan in middle of oven, shaking occasionally, until fragrant and a few shades darker, 8 to 10 minutes. Toss immediately with 1/2 tablespoon butter and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
• Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a well-seasoned crêpe pan or an 8-inch nonstick skillet. Blend milk, eggs, flour, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a blender until smooth. Pour in melted butter, leaving a film of butter in skillet, and blend until well combined.
• Heat skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Half fill a 1/4-cup measure with batter and, holding skillet off heat, pour in batter, immediately swirling and tilting skillet to create a thin even layer. (If batter sets before skillet is coated, reduce heat slightly. Next crêpe will be better.) Return skillet to heat and cook until crêpe is golden around edges and dry in center, about 45 seconds. Flip crêpe carefully and cook until golden, about 15 seconds more. Sprinkle crêpe lightly with sugar.
• Make more crêpes with remaining batter, stacking them as cooked and lightly sprinkling each with sugar.
• Preheat broiler and butter an 8-inch round flameproof shallow baking dish.
• Heat dulce de leche paste and cream in a small saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until smooth. Reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
• Fold crêpes into eighths and arrange in baking dish. Sprinkle lightly with sugar, then broil about 6 inches from heat until edges are crispy, about 45 seconds. Serve with sauce and pecans.

Steps:

• In large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, flour sugar and salt until smooth.
• Heat a medium-sized skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Grease pan with a small amount of butter or oil applied with a brush or paper towel. Using a serving spoon or small ladle, spoon about 3 tablespoons crepe batter into hot pan, tilting the pan so that bottom surface is evenly coated. Cook over medium heat, 1 to 2 minutes on a side, or until golden brown. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Before you begin, you will want to gather a few supplies: candy thermometer, pink and blue icing gel, 2 piping bags, large round piping tip, small round piping tip, wax paper, pastry brush, offset spatula, toothpicks, and a sprinkle mix (if using) to decorate the top of the cake. .
• In a high speed blender combine the eggs, milk, and vanilla, and blend until foamy. Add the sugar, flour, and salt, and blend just until combined (with no visible lumps).
• Transfer to a medium sized bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• You can make the marshmallows while the crepe batter rests! Begin by combining the marshmallow coating powder ingredients in an airtight container. Set aside.
• Line a baking tray with wax paper and sift the coating powder over the top. Fit 2 piping bags with the round piping tips. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, add 1/3 cup cold water, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin on top, and stir to combine. Allow the gelatin to bloom while heating the sugar mixture.
• Add the sugar, corn syrup, 1/4 cup cold water, and salt to a medium sized saucepan. Cook on medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves then add the candy thermometer, and raise the heat to high. Cook on high (without stirring) until the temperature reaches 240°F.
• With the mixer on low speed, VERY carefully and slowly pour the hot sugar into the softened gelatin. Gradually increase the speed to high, and continue to whip until soft peaks form and hold their shape (about 8-10 minutes).
• Add the vanilla extract and mix again just until combined. Transfer the marshmallow to the prepared piping bags.
• Use the bag fitted with the large round piping tip to first pipe an oval shape onto the wax paper pulling and releasing into a point for the hedgehog's nose. You can use water to smooth any lumps or peaks. Just dip a clean finger into a bowl with a little water and smooth the marshmallow. Try to work fairly quickly as the marshmallow starts to set fast (I like to make 3 hedgehogs at a time).
• Once you have 3 bodies piped you can sprinkle on any color of jimmies, that you'd like, for the spines. Then use the piping bag fitted with the small round tip to pipe an ear onto each side of the face. I like to use a little water to flatten and mold it a bit into the right shape. Allow the marshmallow to set for at least 7 hours or overnight before handling. Once set you can use the coating powder to dust any sticky spots. .
• When the crepe batter is ready divide it evenly into 3 bowls. Use toothpicks to color each as vivid or softly as you would like with the icing gels, combining the pink and blue gels to make purple. .
• Heat a large nonstick skillet, or crepe press, over medium-low heat. Lightly brush with the melted butter, and scoop about 1/3 cup of the crepe batter onto the middle of the skillet or press.
• Swirl the batter around the pan to evenly coat the bottom (or follow the crepe press instructions). Cook until the bottom of the crepe feels set - about 1-2 minutes. Then use chopsticks or a spatula to very carefully lift and flip the crepe. Cook for 45 seconds to 1 minute more until set. You will want to add a little more butter between every crepe to keep them from sticking. If the crepes are spreading too thin or tearing lower the heat and cook a little longer. Make about 6-7 crepes in each color, working with one color at a time. .
• Once all crepes are cooked transfer them to the refrigerator to cool while working on the filling.
• Place your mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for 15 minutes. Once they are fully chilled add all the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla to the mixing bowl, and mix on low slowly working your way up to high speed (so it doesn't splatter). Then continue to beat for about 5 minutes until the filling is light and fluffy. Crush the Oreos, and fold into the whipped cream (you can reserve some whipped cream without cookies for the top of the cake if you would like).
• Time to build the cake! Start with the purple crepes, and place one onto your cake plate or stand. Use an offset spatula to apply a thin layer of the cookies & cream whipped cream on top (leaving a thin border around the edge). Continue to add the crepes, using all of one color at a time, while adding the cream in between each layer working from purple to pink. When you get to the top crepe, cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
• While the cake chills you can finish up those cute hedgehogs :). Melt 1/4 cup chocolate chips and use a toothpick to dot the nose and eyes onto each marshmallow.
• When you are ready to serve the cake add the rest of the whipped cream and decorate the top with the hedgehog marshmallows and sprinkles (party hat optional), enjoy!

Steps:

• In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, egg and salt.
• Heat a large frying pan or wok over medium high heat. When the pan is hot add a teaspoon of butter and lightly coat the surface of the pan with the melted butter.
• Pour one quarter cup of the batter into the pan and tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface in a smooth and even layer.
• After two minutes, lift up an edge of the crepe with a spatula to see if it is browning. When the underside has begun to brown, flip the crepe and cook the other side until it is also brown; about 2 minutes.
• Repeat steps 3 and 4 to cook the remaining crepes. Serve hot.

Steps:

• In a blender combine eggs, milk, flour, salt and oil. Process until smooth. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brush with oil. Pour 1/4 cup of crepe batter into pan, tilting to completely coat the surface of the pan. Cook 2 to 5 minutes, turning once, until golden. Repeat with remaining batter.

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer, beat cream and essence in a small bowl until soft peaks form.
• Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar and zests in a medium bowl until smooth and beat in juice and then fold in the whipped cream.
• Place 1 crepe on a serving plate; spread with 1/3 cup of cream mixture and top with another crepe and repeat layers using remaining crepes and cream mixture finishing with a crepe and then cover and chill for at least 1 hour.
• Sprinkle crepe cake with the almonds and lightly dust with icing sugar.
